We study how plants and algae actively percieve and use their cell walls to grow, adapt, and respond to stress. Based at UmeĆ„ Plant Science Centre šøšŖ and NTNU š³š“. Read more about our projects: https://www.cellwalldynamics.com

Then we had the pleasure of hosting an excellent invited seminar by Prof. Yoselin Benitez-Alfonso @yoselin.bsky.social from the University of Leeds. A fantastic talk on cell walls, plasmodesmata and callose. So great to have you in UmeĆ„! š± (2/3)
We asked Demetrio and Bastien, the first authors of our recent study on RLKs in green algae, about the motivation, bioinformatic advances, and open questions behind the workāand what this means for algal sensing and evolution. Read more in our blog post: www.cellwalldynamics.com/new-paper-re...
š± Big news! We received a Novo Nordisk Fonden Emerging Investigator Grant (DKK 12.5M āĀ around ā¬1.7M) for project DYNAMO. 5 years to understand how plant cell walls signal the growth to strength switch. So proud of the whole team. Let's go! š§±ā”

Congratulations Manju, a PhD student at Cell Wall Dynamics lab and the team UmeĆ„ for securing the first position at the EC2U Science Contest 2026 in Turkušš
The science contest is a part of EC2U forum that brings researchers from several fields to showcasing science through teamwork and creativity.
Very busy day in the Cell Wall Dynamics lab today! We started with our masterās student Sehyeon Kim defending a brilliant Masterās thesis at @umeaplantsciencecentre.se. Congratulations Sehyeon! š
And what better opponent than the brilliant Yoselin Benitez-Alfonso @yoselin.bsky.social who joined us all the way from Leeds for both Klaudiaās seminar and yesterdayās invited talk! A truly intense and inspiring week for the lab š± (2/2)
Another highlight this week in the Cell Wall Dynamics Lab: our PhD student Klaudia Ordyniak nailed her half-time seminar today at @umeaplantsciencecentre.se Presenting her work on transcriptional regulation of Cell Wall Integrity signalling, so proud! š (1/2)
